After fishing with a guide service for 5 years, my last trip was
with Jeff Melberg, the guy that got me started on Alaska and his friend and Steve. For the
trip, we decided to rent a boat from Smittys and do the Kenai ourselves. We fished with
Kwikfish and did very well. Jeff had the toughest time but that was because he was running
the boat. He did a great job of putting in the right spots. From time to time, he thought
he would second guess what was happening and would let more line out. He would tell us how
far, then let his out much farther. I figured out that the fish were actually biting
closer to the boat. I was the first to get a limit (2 Kings), then Steve
and finally Jeff. We had a great time and I sure want to go back, although I may try
Kodiak Island and Sitka.
